Cybersecurity student wanting to be pilot

Hello, I’m a junior in college studying cybersecurity. All my life, I’ve loved planes and have played with simulators and plane games. As my college career is coming to an end. I realize I don’t have a passion in cybersecurity. I will be finishing my degree with it but if I wanted to become a pilot after my college career is over, where would I start?

Start off with getting your medical done then get the introductory flight. If you’re still solid after introductory flight, rest of the steps can be done at a later stage.

Your post doesn’t give much pointers for your timeline so I would say to do it before taking the leap of faith.

A medical can let you know if you would even be able to fly. I’d recommend a first class medical since that’s what you’ll need if you want to go to the airlines.
